This information was shared by Kanu’s lead counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, in a post on X. Ejimakor stated that the DSS’s actions represent a continued disregard for a court ruling that granted Kanu access to his legal representatives.
He emphasized his commitment to resuming all suspended legal proceedings with renewed determination following this latest incident. Ejimakor wrote: “Today, in blatant and ongoing defiance of an existing court order, the DSS prevented Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's legal team from visiting him. Consequently, we will vigorously continue all previously halted legal actions to enforce compliance.”
This marks the second instance in October where the DSS denied Kanu access to his lawyers. Kanu has been held by the DSS since his rearrest and extraordinary rendition in 2021. In response to this situation, the Abuja Federal High Court previously threatened to hold DSS Director General Adeola Ajayi in contempt and potentially jail him.
